Last month I made some really cute little pink marbled cupcakes for Miss Frugal's 15th Birthday party and I'm only just getting around to writing them up now!I've already shared the homemade rainbow layer cake that I made for her Birthday with you weeks I thought it was about time that I shared these cute little pink marbled cupcakes that I made with you. They're really easy to make but you'll have to excuse the lack of good photos because I made them on the day of the party and was to busy at the time to stop and take photos which meant I had to take them later on when everyone was … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did in Nice and Monaco {13th October 2017}….
If you follow my Instagram feed or read last week's five frugal things post then you'll know that we've been away for a cheeky family break to Nice and Monaco so as I did when we went to New York and Milan,this week's post is going to be dedicated to five frugal things we did in Nice and Monaco.1) When we checked in to our hotel, the lovely receptionist handed us a huge stack of tours and trips that they could book us on to if we wanted to do some sightseeing. I'd been googling for the last week so whilst I had definite plans for what we were going to be doing, I had no intention of … [Read more...]
How to make a handbag from a skirt or a pair of shorts….
You probably all know by now that I'm handbag mad so today's tutorial on how to make a handbag from a skirt or a pair of shorts was just up my street!I first saw a more complicated version of this idea to make a handbag from a skirt a good few months ago on Pinterest and decided to have a go at making a more simplified version of my own. I went on a charity shop expedition to search for what I was after and got everything in one trip for a total of £3.50. Then I completely forgot about it after I tidied the things I'd bought away into the black hole that is my 'must make for the … [Read more...]
This is why your next hoover should NOT be a Dyson….
Lots of people swear by their Dyson and whenever they buy a new hoover, the Dyson range is the first (and often only) place that they will look. I used to be a Dyson fan too, until I tried a Shark hoover!We first reviewed a Shark hoover last year when we reviewed the Shark Lift Away Hoover (which is actually reduced to £179.99 on Amazon right now aff link). I struggled to see how it could possibly be better than the hoover we had at the time and almost said no to the review for that reason - until I saw the brilliant reviews of it on Amazon!I absolutely loved our Shark hoover … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {6th October 2017}….
We're actually away right now which isn't very money saving but we did do a few things to keep the price of our break way down so I thought I'd tell you about them today....1) We've managed to get away a few times this year thanks to a LOT of shopping around and some flexibility with airports and dates. Our holiday to Milan earlier this year cost us a little over £400 in a 4* hotel because we looked at airports we wouldn't usually flight from, in this case Edinburgh. This time, we booked in advance and looked nationwide so we might be flying from Heathrow but we got return flights for the … [Read more...]
Five reasons why you don’t meal plan….
If you already plan your meals in advance then this post probably isn't for you but if you don't you really should read on because planning your meals will save you time and money every single week!1) I don't have time! OK, I get that meal planning can take a little bit of time once a week but it's totally worth it for the time you save during the rest of the week.I spend about twenty minutes on a Sunday morning having a quick look at what food we already have in and writing a meal plan based on that which I then use to write my shopping list.That extra time on a Sunday morning … [Read more...]
